Marvel Unveils Ultimate Spider-Man in Spanish
Ultimate X-Men collection also soon to be bilingual
Marvel's PR department just sent over news that Ultimate Spider-Man Ultimate Collection Vol. 1 and Ultimate X-Men Ultimate Collection Vol. 1 will be translated into Spanish and rereleased in late March.
The collections, which retail for $29.99, include the first year's worth of stories from each series, all redone in Spanish. This is just the latest effort by Marvel to make a play for Spanish-speaking readers, as in recent months the publisher released a special issue of the Fantastic Four in Spanish. Fantastic Four: Isla De La Muerte #1 was released in Spanish and English in January.
It'll be interesting to hear if anyone tracks sales of those issues by language. Though publishers of all stripes are interested in tapping into the growing Hispanic population in the United States, such efforts are clearly in the early stages.

The title's a bit misleading -- Ultimate Spider-Man has been out in Spanish for around six years.
In Mexico.
